Above and Beyond

I would like to thank Maxwell Hodge for their work, it’s been a difficult time and not the most straight forward of circumstances to navigate. The team have gone above and beyond in supporting and getting things to the end goal. I can’t recommend them enough.

Excellent service

My sister and I engaged Andrea to deal with a slightly unusual and deeply sensitive matter. Polite, efficient, empathetic and competent are just a few of the words that describe our experience. Highly recommended.

Prompt, efficient service

Andrea prepared our 2 Wills. She listened carefully to what we required, made some suggestions and was very responsive to any queries we had. We felt that she was experienced and professional, gave excellent advice, and she went the extra mile to prepare the Wills to a very tight timescale.

My Will and Power of Attorney

5

I was not very confident about setting up my Will and Power of Attorney mainly due to what an emotional and possibly complicated time I imagined it to be, but I was very impressed and relieved at how straightforward it was due to Andrea's pleasant and welcoming manner, advice, knowledge, and professionalism, as she clearly explained each step whilst guiding me through the necessary procedures.
I shall be recommending Andrea to others, and should to thank her along with her colleagues Lisa and Reception staff who were also friendly and professional.
